Success for EndoFLIP!

Cropson’s EndoFLIP has had it’s first use in a new weight loss surgery technique, known as gastric imbrications.

The reversible gastric imbrications technique is a unique procedure that needs no device implanted or no tissue removed from the stomach.

The potential for success in the US is quite realistic, given the popularity for weight loss surgery in the US.

“The EndoFLIP device has the avility to change the way we do bariatric surgery all over the world” says Dr Daniel Cottam, “There has been nothing as revolutionary as this device since the lap band”.
Cottam added “I believe in five years we won’t know how we ever did bariatric surgery without it”.

EndoFLIP technology “fills an important need for the gastric imbrications procedure, namely providing visual feedback to the surgeon “, John O Dea, CEO Crospon as said.

Once again, we wish Crospon the very best of luck with their venture in the US.

Following FDA approval for their EndoFLIP product, Medical Device developer Crospon has broken into the US market.

Crospon develops medical devices within the area of gastroenterology specifically in monitoring, diagnosis and therapy.

Following the release in the European market in 2009, EndoFLIP will now be launched in the US market.

“Gastric banding is the fastes-growing class of bariatric surgery in the US, and we believe that EndoFLIP can bring a new science to gastric-band adjustment”, says Larry Fulton, VP Sales for the Americas.

Crospon Principal investigator Dr Robert G Snow also added, “In addition, we look forward to collaborating with a number of new leading bariatric surgery study centres inside and outside of the US as we collectively seek to better define new techniques for best use of the EndoFLIP system for gastric band adjustments”.

For Sale- Diagnostic Imaging

For Sale- Diagnostic Imaging

What is Medical Technical Sales? Medical Technical Sales can be the sale of services or equipment which have a technical basis to them. This can involve a  very large range  of services  or equipment ranging from either Diagnostic Imaging (X-Rays, CAT scans MRI etc), PACS & Tele-Radiology, Diagnostics & Physiological Monitoring, Endoscopy
Ophthalmics & ENT or Urology & Surgical equipment.

Needless to say the markets for these can be just as large- consider the markets for syringes, X-ray imaging, Diagnostics imaging equipment all of these are extremely profitable for the companies  involved in them that either manufacture or distribute for OEM’s (Original Engineering Manufacturer).

Science Jobs opportunities then are equally considerable  with openings for Chief Scientific Officer, Aseptic Validation Engineer and Medical Technical Sales Reps for those with or without experience in Medical Technical Sales
